Unipolar diffusion charging of non-spherical particles was investigated for various particle shapes. We researched with TiO$_2$agglomerates produced by the thermal decomposition of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) vapor. TTIP was converted into TiO$_2$, in the furnace reactor and was subsequently introduced into the sintering furnace. Increasing the temperature in the sintering furnace, aggregates were restructured into higher fractal dimensions. The aggregates were classified according to their mobility using a differential mobility analyzer. The projection area and the mass fractal dimension of particles were measured with an image processing technique performed by using transmission electron microscope (TEM) photograph. The selected aggregates were charged by the indirect photoelectric-charger and the average number of charges per particle was measured by an aerosol electrometer and a condensation particle counter. For the particles of same mobility diameter, our results showed that the particle charge quantity decreases as the sintering temperature increases. This result is understandable because particles with lower fractal dimension have larger capacitance and geometric surface area.

The present study was aimed to study the light and electron microscopic studies of thymic Hassall's corpuscles was done in various age groups of Nandanam Chicken ranging from day-old to forty weeks. Hassall's corpuscles are special, unique structures present in thymic medulla and also in the cortex of all the age groups of Nandanam chicken (from hatch to forty weeks) in the present study. Size of the Hassall's corpuscles in the medulla is larger than the ones present in the cortical region of thymus. The Hassall's corpuscles are made up of structureless eosinophilic mass surrounded by concentrically arranged reticuloepithelial cells. Under electron microscope, the Hassall's corpuscles were composed of reticuloepithelial cells interconnected by many desmosomes. The epithelial cells had abundance of cytoplasmic fibrils and desmosomes with few mitochondria and ribosomes. The nucleus was oval or round which was slightly indented. The centre of the Hassall's corpuscles was appeared either solid or cystic. The cystic corpuscles had cell debris within the cyst lumen.

Wilt disease in Oak trees occurs during summer season in Korea. Mass attack of trees by an ambrosia beetle (Platypus koryoensis) was the characteristic feature before appearance of the wilting symptoms. Raffaelea sp. caused the discoloration of xylem area called as wound heartwood. Raffaelea sp. was observed both on the body surfaces and inside the mycangia of the beetle Platypus sp. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis showed that fungal spores were present within the wall of gallery and vessels that formed tyloses. The results revealed that the water movement in vessels was blocked as the fungus started to grow which caused the formation of tyloses thereby resulting wilt symptoms. We found that both female and male beetle Platypus sp. had fungi on their bodies and their large and small mycangia. This study confirmed that the fungus was transferred to oak trees by Platypus sp.

Sclerotial development of Grifola umbellata(Pers. : Fr.) Donk was investigated through microscopic examinations. The sclerotium of G. umbellata was bumpy and rugged, multi-branched, and dark-brown to black in color. The sclerotial development of G. umbellata was categorized into three stages such as sclerotial initial, development and maturation. Sclerotium development was initiated as the white fungal mass. The superficial part of white sclerotium changed into gray, light brown and then black as its development proceeded further. As a distinctive characteristic of this fungus, a large number of crystals were observed in the medulla layer of sclerotium during its maturation. For development of new sclerotium, G. umbellata formed a white sclerotial primordium on the matured sclerotium. Development of sclerotium in G. umbellata was intimately associated with rhizomorphs of Armillariella mellea and the developing sclerotia were often penetrated by rhizomorphs of A. mellea into medulla layer.

Amyloid-producing odontogenic tumors were described in the gingival masses of two Maltese dogs. Gingival masses were surgically removed and submitted for diagnosis. On histopathology, the masses were poorly demarcated, infiltrative, and consisted of cuboidal and columnar epithelial cells with palisading pattern. Nodular deposit of congophilic amyloid-like material and mineralization were another features of the tumors. Immunohistochemically, the neoplasticd cells were positive to pancytokeratin and neuron-specific enolase but were negative to vimentin. The amorphous homogeneous eosinophilic materials were positive to Congo red stain and showed apple-green color under the polarized microscope. Based on these results, both cases were diagnosed as amyloid-producing odontogenic tumors in dogs.

반도체 공정 및 디스플레이 공정에서 발생하는 오염입자는 공정 불량을 일으키는 가장 큰 인 중의 하나이며, 수십 나노에서 수 백 나노의 크기를 갖는다. 최근 반도체 산업이 발전함에 따라 회로의 선폭이 점차 감소하고 있으며 오염입자의 임계 직경(critical diameter) 또한 작아지고 있다. 또한 디스플레이 산업에서는 패널이 대형화되고 공정이 발달함에 따라 입자에 의한 패널 오염이 이슈가 되고 있는 실정이다. 현재 반도체 및 디스플레이 산업에서 사용되는 측정방법으로는 레이저를 이용하여 공정 후 표면에 남아있는 오염입자를 측정하는 ex-situ 방법이 주를 이루고 있다. Ex-situ 방법을 이용한 오염입자의 제어는 웨이퍼 전체를 측정할 수 없을 뿐만 아니라 실시간 측정이 불가능하기 때문에 공정 모니터링 장비로 사용이 어려우며 오염입자와 공정 간의 상관관계 파악에도 많은 제약이 따르게 된다. 이에 따라 저압에서 in-situ 방법을 이용한 실시간 오염입자 측정 기술 개발이 요구되고 있다. 또한 입자의 크기 뿐 아니라 성분과 형상까지 측정할 수 있는 장치의 개발 요구가 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 이를 위해 입자의 크기 및 분포를 측정할 수 있는 Particle Beam Mass Spectrometer (PBMS)와 형상을 측정할 수 있는 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)의 기능을 통합하여 실시간으로 나노입자의 복합특성(크기, 성분, 형상)을 측정할 수 있는 장치를 개발하였다. 또한 기존 장치들의 문제점 중 하나가 실시간으로 교정이 불가능하다는 것이었는데 이 장치의 경우 실시간으로 측정되는 결과의 조합으로 실시간 교정까지도 가능한 장점을 가지고 있다.

Aucubin, an iridoid glucoside isolated from Aucuba japonica, has pharmacological effects such as antimicrobial effect, liver protective function and inhibition of liver RNA and protein biosynthesis, etc. This study was performed to observe the effect of aucubin on the pulp tissue after pulpotomy. Aucubin was converted to aucubinogenin as an active form by ${\beta}$-glucosidase. In 3 Mongrel dogs, the pulps were mechanically exposed with a sterile round bur and excised with sterile excavator. After bleeding control, aucubin was applied on remaining pulp tissues and then they were sealed with IRM in experimental group. In control group, $Ca(OH)_2$ powder was applied on remaining pulp tissues and then they were sealed with IRM. After interval of 1 and 12 weeks, the dogs were sacrificed. The teeth were prepared for histologic evaluation and examined by light microscope. Aucubin 1 week group showed that mild inflammation and vascular congestion in most of the specimen. More various degree of inflammation was found in experimental group than in control group. Premature calcified mass were found in the both 1 weeks groups. Continuous well-formed dentin bridge was found in both 12 weeks groups. Collectively, this study suggests that the possibility of aucubin as a medicament after pulpotomy.

The carbon-coated Si/Cu powder has been prepared by mechanical ball milling and hydrocarbon gas decomposition methods. The phase of Si/Cu powder was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), dispersive Raman spectroscopy, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The carbon-coated Si/Cu powders were used as anode active material for lithium-ion batteries. Their electrochemical properties were investigated by charge/discharge test using commercial LiCo$O_2$ cathode and lithium foil electrode, respectively. The surface phase of Si/Cu powders consisted of carbon phase like the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a spacing layer of 0.35 nm. The carbon-coated Si/Cu/graphite composite anode exhibited a higher capacity than commercial graphite anode. However, the cyclic efficiency and the capacity retention of the composite anode were lower compared with graphite anode as cycling proceeds. This effect may be attributed to some mass limitations in LiCo$O_2$ cathode materials during the cycling.

The nanoprobe based on lithography, mainly represented by SPM based technologies, has been recognized as potential application to fabricate the surface nanostructures because of its operational versatility and simplicity. The objective of the work is to suggest new mastless pattern fabrication technique using the combination of machining by nanoindenter and KOH wet etching. The scratch option of the nanoindenter is a very promising method for obtaining nanometer scale features on a large size specimen because it has a very wide working area and load range. Sample line patterns were machined on a silicon surface, which has a native oxide on it, by constant load scratch (CLS) of the Nanoindenter with a Berkovich diamond tip, and they were etched in KOH solutions to investigate chemical characteristics of the machined silicon surface. After the etching process, the convex structure was made because of masking effect of the affected layer generated by nano-scratch. On the basis of this fact, some line patterns with convex structures were fabricated. Achieved patterns can be used as a mold that will be used for mass production processes such as nanoimprint or PDMS molding process. All morphological data of scratch traces were scanned using atomic force microscope (AFM).

Hemorrhage due to capillary telangiectasia is rare. We report a case of capillary telangiectasia presenting with repeated cerebellar hemorrhage in a 38-year-old male. To our knowledge this is the first case of repeated cerebellar hemorrhage from the capillary telangiectasia. At the first operation, we removed hematoma only, but rebleeding occurred repeatedly in the same area. Finally, we evacuated the recurrent hematoma and vascular mass of capillary telangiectasia at the second operation under surgical microscope. Based on the findings of this case and a review of the literature, we conclude that capillary telangiectasia can be the cause of the massive repeated hemorrhage.
